After a usual lively weekend back in 2015, weary-headed clubbers woke on Monday, June 22, to the shock announcement that their favourite nightclub had closed.

In a social media post, a spokesperson for the nightclub, in Drayton Lane, Oving, said the closure was due to ‘nothing bad’ happening but said that landlords ‘wanted their building back’.

Since its closure residents of Chichester and surrounding villages have been left with scarce nightlife options but steps are being taken to bring the spirit of Thursday’s back to its eager fans.

While the iconic Drayton Lane site has been turned into offices for a number of businesses, the spirit of Thursday’s hoped to have travelled to Oaklands Pavilion with a number of events booked in across the year.

Organisers of a ‘90s Thursday’s’ club night announced a number of dates at Oaklands Pavilion earlier this year and a 00s club night booked in for Saturday, December 17.

Tickets cost £20 and allow entry from 9pm until 1.30pm.
